ANOTHER NAIL BAG CASE.
Young Armstrong Found Guilty on
Second Charge.

ouHS - EihSAAOh- Il Ouuu Oullty on
Second Charge.
The case of Elijah Armstrong, the young
negro boy who was charged with mutllat-
ing u mail bag, was argued in the United
states District Court yesterday morning
by +. w. Meldrim, Esq, for the defense,
and District Attorney Dupont Query,
Esq, for the government.
Judge Speer charged the jury that to
convict under the testimony they must
believe that the defendant tore or cut the
bag with intent to steal. He had previ-
Ously been convicted OF stealing a regis
tered letter from the pouch on the day the
bag was mutilated. One theory OF the
defense was that Armstrong might have
torn the bag accidentally, as he alleged,
and that afterward the idea of stealing q
registered package occurred to him.
The jury found him guilty. Sentence
was deferred.

TRIED TO CUT HIS THROAT.
An Incident of Everyday Life in
Cooper shop Lane.

Jim Wright, bUrly young negro, dis
turbed the peace and quiet of Cooper
Shop lane yesterday afternoon by at
tempting to cut the throat Of his COM
panlon, Dan, with whom he got into a
quarrel. The two clinched, and We're
Struggling on the ground when Sergt
Reilly and Mounted Policeman Townsend
rode up. Wright saw the officers and
jumped up and started to run. AS he
lodged past them Sergt. Reilly
seized him by the collar. Wright is
muscular negro, and twisted
loose. AS he did 80 he lodged under
the officers horse and into Farm street,
and started for the canal. Both officers
gave chase, but Wright knew his way
better than his pursuers did. He lodged
through alleys and between houses whore
the officers could not ride, and in five
minutes after he started he was across
the canal, making tracks through the
fields of Springfield plantation, and was
out OF reach. He left his knife on the
ground where the struggle took place.

A CHANGE IN THE LAW.

The magistrate said that he would
favor ana he thought a majority of the
justices would, ana probably the Solicitor
General, too, bill allowing 81 Tor INSIDE
meanors and 81 for felonies IN cases OF
convictions, the fees to be paid
by the county. Those amounts would be
divided between the magi strate and the
constable. To meet such fees Mr..
Sheftall estimated that between So. 900
and So, 600 would be required. such an
act, he remarked, would cause discon-
tisuance OF the prosecution OF frivolous
cases and would put stop 10 the practice
which has obtained among some OF the
magistrates Of putting up cases against
ignorant parties.

Take now the shop classes. There
you will see the wife the active part
ner Of the husband. Behold them
both a. the commercial traveller dis.
plays his goods on the counter. The
wife is supreme. Her objections arc
without appeal, her opinion final. 1t
is she who generally has charge Of the
books and the cash box, and neither
books nor cash were ever intrusted to
better guardianship. She is not .
mere housekeeper, with or without
wages; she is the partner. not merely
a sleeping partner. This not only en-
ables her to be Of great help to her
husband, but it also enables her, If
she happens to become q widow, to
carry on the business without her hus-
band, to be independent, and to bring
up her children. She has not, to OBJ
tain her living on her husbands death,
to become q working housekeeper or >
nurse; she is the mistress Of her own
house as before, and now the head Of
the firm. In her shop she is most
polite and empressee, but never SER
vile, and if you wish her to take you
for gentleman, don't keep your hat
ON while you are engaged with her in
a commercial transaction.
1t is said that Louis XIV, the most
naughty aud magnificent monarch Of
modern times, used to lift his hat even
to the female servants of his court. II
so, no man need think that he dero-
gates from his dignity by keeping his
hat of in respectable shop when he
is served by q woman.
/ might say a word or two on the
drawb backs of the influence Of women
on Frenchmen, but there 10 no doubt
that this influence has polished our
manners. Even in business inter-
course politeness is not banished. In
England. for instance, checks are
marked "Pay to-" In France they
are worded, "veSillez payer
"Please - pay" Kindly pay" etc.

The excitement, instead Of dimin.
ishing, increases in regard to the re-
cent great strike at the Howard gold
NINE, on the Hassayampa River, ten
miles south of Prescott. The ledge
runs north and south and can be traced
for two miles. The strike was made
on the side hill 200 feet above the
level of the creek. At this point a
small portion Of the ledge can be seen
about ten feet below the surface. At
this depth the vein is rich aud is liter
ally filed with gold. The rock, when
broken hangs together by the gold it
contains. Pieces Of gold as large as
$40 pieces can be seen all over the
quartz. Within the last three or four
days visitors to the mine have been
numerous. On Wednesday L. H.
Wilson, Traffic Manager. and Ed Low,
Superintendent Of the p. and A. c.
Railway, went to the mine. They
report that the facts have not been ex-
aggerated, and that the half has not
been told. The owners of the mine
have taken out several thousand dol
lars in the past week. 1t is nothing
unusual for them to pan out 500 in
pure gold in two hours in common
sinch mortar. The product of the
mine in gold exceeds the widest
dreams OF Cortex and his followers.
Preparations are being made to sink
deeper on the vein. The mine bids
fair to develope one Of the richest in
the world.

mated that the punishment Of the An.
archists was too seyere--that the law
was administered without mercy.
Evidently this view was tinged by the
impression that these men were politi.
cal offenders. But the crimes were
not of political character. They
were convicted Of murder. Now,
O'Brien an Irish Liberal, is convicted
and sent to prison for political crime.
His offense is that he uttered words
calculated to disturb the peace. He
had technically violated the law. He
had not conspired against the life Of
any person. had not raised . moi. had
not destroyed property; in short, had
done nothing more than to address his
countrymen in regard to their sup
posed rights. He is known at home
IS a high.minded, chivalrous man
one who loves his country aud wants
to see Ireland prosperous and her peo-
pie happy. This Irish patriot is con-
victed of violating the law. His Of
fense was in making political speech.
He was convicted of that crime and
sent to Jail. But in Jail he is treated
as common felon. All the indigni-
ties are heaped upon him that would
have been meted out to . thief, .
counterfeiter or . man who had been
convicted of granddaughter.
O'Brien declared that he would not
submit to the degradation Of wearing
a convict's dress. It Was given out that
the Cabinet would consider the ques-
tion a. to what exemption from the
more degrading punishment should be
granted. But no exemption appears
to have been provided, and O'Brien
was treated as low malefactor. And
this while the English press, or some
part Of it, declares that Justice in the
United States is administered with too
great severity. England seizes one Of
the brightest and most influential Of
the Irish Liberals, or Home Rulers.
and attempts to degrade him as COM
mon felon! II one thing were want
ing to precipitate . crisis in mis-
governed ireland it would be such
brutal treatment - that in the case Of
O'Brien. 1t 10 impossible to smother
the protest against tyranny. The
man in prison subjected to brutal and
degrading punishments is doing quite
as much for the final success of his
cause as he could do in addressing his
countrymen in public places.
